Patriarchy release ‘New Way’ single ahead of new LP
Patriarchy
Los Angeles-based industrial electronic band Patriarchy have released their new single “New Way”. Produced in collaboration with Twin Shadow, the track is the second release in the group’s “Summer of Singles” campaign ahead of their forthcoming album “Manual for Dying,” due in September 2025.
“New Way” is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and Bandcamp. A music video is scheduled to follow later in June.
Here’s what the band says about the new single: “We wanted to make a filthy fun dance floor banger with big guitars in the spirit of Rammstein or KMFDM […] It felt more subversive to leave something unsaid — to rob the listener of the word they’re used to getting.”
Twin Shadow, who produced seven of the thirteen tracks on the upcoming album, described the collaboration as liberating: “I wanted to work with Patriarchy because I knew they would at some point (what turned out to be many points) in the process say ‘fuck it, yeah, let’s try that.’”
“New Way” follows the May 2025 release of “Boy on a Leash”, also produced by Twin Shadow, and continues the band’s thematic focus on power dynamics and desire.
Patriarchy are currently on a European tour and will resume with additional dates in August 2025, including Brutal Assault and SonicBlast festivals.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
